RAW this week starts with music and pyro.
Cena’s music and he comes out to the ring. He says he can feel the energy, it’s a fever pitch. After weeks of FU, pedigrees, RKOs and everything else you want to throw into that group of entertainment - Sunday they dance. It’s a business about what have you done for me, not what have you done for me lately. After standing tough against 17 men he’s feeling pretty go to walk into WM and walk out the champ. The fans are mixed for him, but he does get a male “Cena” chant. He says he know some of us...
Big Show’s music interrupts him. Show comes down to the ring. Show says Cena needs to understand that no matter who wins Cena’s match, this WM will go down in history as the year he ends Mayweather’s boxing career. This will replace Hogan slamming Andre as the biggest single replayed moment of WM.
JBL’s music and he comes walking out. He says the two of them can talk about making history all they want. Show can eat Mayweather for all he cares, but JBL is the one who makes history. He’s the one who exposed Finlay and Hornswoggle. He beat down Hornswoggle while he was crying for daddy. He will continue the beatings at WM and there’s not rules in his match. There’s no one who can stop him. He says Cena must remember that.
Cena says he wasn’t listening, he was thinking about how he beat JBL at WM21, those were good times.
Out comes Orton. He says what everyone needs to remember about WM... Some think Show will knock out Mayweather. Some think JBL will knock out Finlay. Some think Cena or HHH will walk out champion. But no one thinks Orton will retain. He loves it, he feeds off it. That means everyone will be talking about him when he retains at WM.
Umaga comes to the ring. He gets in and paces. He then grabs Orton’s mic. He looks it over and says Batista. Then he goes on in another language. The only understandable word is Batista.
Cena says he’s fluent is Samoan. He’s right Orton is into boy bands, like sperm whales and watches My Two Dad’s reruns. There’s no way he’ll let Orton...
HHH’s music and out he comes. He says he knows what they’re thinking and they’re right. It is the new HHH t-shirt and it is awesome. They all make convincing arguments for WM and what they might do there. But there’s one reason they’re all in this business and put their bodies on the line. It’s the WWE Championship. They would all changer their matches to have a chance at the title. There’s one reason they’re playing in Orlando, in a place without a roof, as HHH, Orton and Cena would blow it off. He says at WM the King of Kings goes back on his throne.
JBL starts yelling at HHH and it degrades to a screaming match between them all.
Regal stops the screaming and says tonight’s main event will be a WM showcase match. It will be a No DQ match between Cena, HHH, HBK and Flair against Umaga, JBL, Show and Orton.

He wants to prove on the biggest stage of them all that he’s still Flair. He needs it to make it the rest of his way in his life. He needs to be the Naitch. Is that asking too much?
HBK says he wants to assure Flair of one thing. He’s going to give him everything he needs. He’s going to give him everything, including The Showstopper. Come Sunday he’s going to step in the ring with Mr. Wrestle Mania.
Flair says that’s what he wants.
HBK stops before he leaves. He says just so there’s no doubt in Flair’s mind. Remember the story of Old Yeller? When it was his time they had to take him out back and finish him. On Sunday HBK’s going to take Flair behind the wood shed and put him out of his misery.
Flair unbuttons his shirt, throws his jacket and the bag from the ring. He starts punching HBK in the face. He wants to be taken behind the woodshed right now.
HBK says he’s putting Flair out of his misery. HBK drops the mic and leaves the ring and ring area. Flair is left in the ring bright red and pissed.
